The city of Detroit is poised to restructure the police department, which Mayor Dave Bing says will be discussed at a meeting with media at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

The Detroit Free Press reports that it has obtained an administrative communication that entails some specifics related to the restructuring, including the elimination of the gang squad and tactical mobile unit.

Those units are not assigned to a specific precinct, but respond where needed throughout the city.

According to a statement from Police Commission President Jerome Warfield to the Free Press, he understands that those duties would be absorbed by the respective precincts.

A previous meeting held by Bing on Jan. 3 with Police Chief Chester Logan reviewed the city's 2012 crime stats, which revealed the city had it's most violent per capita homicide rate since 1993, according to the Free Press analysis.
